OF the women who have had courage
TO make bold departure for themselves
some few have been successful, con
spicuously among the rich women of
the country. There is Mrs. Bishop
Hiif Warren, who is credited with being
the wealthiest woman in Colorado. She
is worth SIC, 900, 600, and has made it
on cattle with no other business advice
than that furnished by her own mother

amassed about 100000 is Mrs

Rogers, whose talents are of the bust
ness order. went into stock-raising on
a small scale, eXperimentally, some
time ago. She gave her personal at
tention to the matter from the start,
leaving very little to the overseers. She
bought for herself, sold for herself,
knew how her cattle were fed, learned
to be Il fearless rider, and was over the
range about rs frequently as the cow

She enlarged her enterprises every sea-
son, and her business Is still growing
to-day.
Two rich women who have inherited
ranches from their husbands are Mrs

The True Gentiewoman.

A gentlewoman, writes Catherine
Cali in the New Orleans Picayune, is
born not made; her smiles cannot be
like parasol, for outdoor use in sun
ny weather. Why should she smirk
and grin, and fawn, and tlatter the
woman of her set who is rich and re-
ceiyed everywhere and be ashamed TO
be commonly polite TO the woman who
is not on her visiting-list or acknow-
lodged in her social circle? Social
varnish of smirk and smile. if laid on
an inch thick, cannot hide the unloveli-
ness of a rotten heart or reclaim it
from hideous foulness that humber
folk have smelled and been made sick
of. To some the most honest hearts,
the most manly men, the most beauti-
full faces and most charming girls. are
mere smuts and blurs unless they are
framed in by fine clothes. are busted at
only the most aristocratic trades, and
are placed in only the highest circles
Good manners that are the spon-
taneods expression of a good and
kindly heart are tested best when the
man or woman is placed in unusual
circumstances. 1t is easy enough for
madame to smile, and be gracious, and
wear all her captivating little accoutre-
ments of amiability and even temper in
her own home amongst her own friends,
but YOU have only to send her out into
the world, place her temporarily in un-
company among unfamiliar
people to learn whether she is a real
princess or no. The real queens of the
best society are not known by their
fine gowns. Nor can they travel
through the world incognito. Wherever
they 20 there is that about them that
commands homage and inspires good
behavior. Like good angels, they

for others that is set like
a star in the forehead. beacon, guide,
